The National Competition
what crudely coloured en
largement of the details.
A pleasant stencilled hang-
ing is designed by Ernest
Dewson (Levenshulme),
and another, clever in con-
struction but a little rest-
less and uncompanionable,
by Jessie Cowan (Stafford).
The stencilled frieze by
Francis E. Hodge (Ply-
mouth) is well composed
and full of breezy motion
and atmosphere. The
management of the light
and distance is very good.
design for stencilled frieze by j. a. found (hull) Another by James A. i ound
(Hull) is based upon a
chase of hare and hounds,
book-bindings by Ethel Slater (Leeds) and 01 in which the general composition is vigorous and
the wonderfully dainty little series of end-papers effective. The best stencilled wall-paper is by
by Louise Flick (Leicester), with their ethereal Lilian Pledge (West Ham). This shows a true
and rainbow-like effects of colour. Among the appreciation of the value and limits of this

workmanship. The decorative motive consists of are very conventional this year, but some of the
two kneeling figures face
to face beneath a cross,
and the treatment, though
very simple, is sympathetic
and full. The same may be
said of the blotter by Clara
Miles (Plymouth), which,
though more rich and sen-
suous in decoration, is equally
good in imagination and
technical power. Mention
should also be made of a
beautiful little plaster model
for a cover for a birthday-
book by T. T. Nelson
(Shipley), which is notable
for its imaginative charm.
The application of stencil-
ling to the larger kinds of de-
coration is illustrated by John
Potter (Derby), whose design
for the stencilled decoration
of a church is well adapted
to its purpose, and rightly
looks much better in the
small study giving the general
effect, than in the some- design for decorative panel by nina morrison (mount st., Liverpool)
